I always had a thing for mesh/basket weave type wheels.
They just look period-correct.
Although having had some, they are a pain in the *** to clean.

My BW 3.6 17". Really set the car off way more than the Cup 1s I had on her before.

EDIT: posted some better pics...
The wheels he has are caled FOLGER....

I have a set of centers for the Forgeline RS wheels if you woul dlike to buy them... you'll have to polish them though. I have the same wheels you do, bought new they came with centers.

You are correct on all counts.. period look and a pain to clean. They are 17's, 8.5 and 9.5, IIRC. They are just silver, but what impressed me was how much they seem to grab the color of the car. They've got to be fairly rare, I've never seen another set. I've been told they are the real German Ronals, not the cheap Ronals made in Japan (??)

Thanks!

^ ^ there's a 90's volvo sedan in the parking lot out here with wheels that look a lot like those.

So what's the bolt pattern for volvos...?
